In the 5th century century BC, two men leave Athens to live happily, far from the city, politics, and war. But where to live? They ask Tereus, a hoopoe who was once a man, who accompanies them in their quest for an ideal. Here is Aristophanes' mischievous beginning to build a utopia: Cloudy-Cuckooville, where birds reign in place of the gods.
This lively, playful translation by Laetitia Bianchi mischievously restores the provocative and modern ideas of Aristophanes (circa 446-386 BC). Tiritiritiriritiribrix sings the hoopoe for the greatest pleasure of Hellenists, mischievous readers and ornithophiles!
